Dear Orphans International Supporter,

We would like to thank you for making our event at the Pink Elephant a success! Through your attendance and participation in the auction we were able to raise over $8,000 and an additional $1,800 in child sponsorships.

We would like to express our gratitude to John Broughton and Manhattan Promotions for doing a stellar job of promoting our event and Lisa Tai and Fongyen Lin for bringing many new "Meet-Up" members.

Many thanks to those whose donations made our event special including fashion designer Alexander Wang, Hartshorn Portraits, Lactalis USA Cheese, G-Spa Champagne Service and our founder, Jim Luce, for donating a painting from his private collection. Your support will enable us to continue providing housing, a quality education, access to medical care and the necessary support services to help our Haitian children who have lost their parent(s) and suffered through Hurricane Jeanne.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our corporate sponsor, Air France, for the donation of two tickets for our auction and especially to Jean-Jacques de Saint Andrieu, their Manager of Community Relations and a longtime supporter of Orphans International.

We would like to thank our Board of Directors for their continued support, especially Nancy Zhang and Alastair Bushby for their help coordinating a very successful auction.

Finally, we would like to honor our staff, interns and volunteers whose work "behind the scenes" made the night possible.

According to UNICEF the number of global orphans is estimated at 210 million. So, we look forward to your continued support. If you would like to learn more about our organization, find out about upcoming events, make a special contribution or learn of other ways that you can support our work please visit our website at www.oiww.org.
